DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers have signed a pair of former Cleveland Indians outfielders.

Trevor Crowe and Ezequiel Carrera have each agreed to minor league contracts with the Tigers, the club announced Thursday. The deals include invitations to major league camp.

Both outfielders are considered long shots to make the Tigers' Opening Day roster, but are expected to provide the organization with much-needed speed at the Triple-A level.

A career .240 hitter in the majors, Crowe batted .218 with a .287 on-base percentage with the Houston Astros last year. He rejected his outright assignment from the Astros and elected free agency in October.

Crowe, a former first-round pick in 2005, spent his first eight seasons in the Indians' organization, and made his major league debut in 2009. He batted .251 with 36 RBIs and 20 stolen bases for the Indians in 2010.

Crowe, 30, batted .304 with a .364 on-base percentage with three homers and 16 steals in 60 games last season for the Oklahoma City RedHawks, the Astros' Triple-A affiliate.

Carrera, 26, split last season between the Indians and Philadelphia Phillies, batting .251 with 26 RBIs and 18 career stolen bases in 131 major league games, spanning three years.

Carrera was designated for assignment by the Phillies last May after hitting .077 in 13 games. He was claimed by the Indians, who designated him for assignment one month earlier. Carrera batted .255 with the Indians over the last two seasons in 116 games.

The Tigers also announced catcher Luis Exposito has agreed to a minor league deal, which includes an invitation to spring training.

A career .264 hitter in the minors, Exposito spent six years in the Boston Red Sox's organization before being claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles in 2012. Last season, he batted .224 in 64 games with the Norfolk Tides, the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate.

Exposito, 26, made his major league debut in 2012, batting .056 in 18 at-bats with the Orioles. He's likely to open the season in Triple-A Toledo or Double-A Erie.
